Hi, I'm trying to write a persistent perl daemon, but have noticed what
looks like a memory leak, with perl_parse.

It only seems to occur once dynamic loading of perl modules is enabled,
here is my test kit:
...
# ./showtime -e "use Time::HiRes;" &
# watch -d ps u $!

Notice RSS size keeps on getting larger, 20k/sec
Works with other modules aswell
I've run valgrind over it, and it cannot find any memory leaks..
Any help would be much appreciated..

I believe DynaLoader:dl_unload_file is never called implicitly in the module destructor, so you have to do that manually.

something like:
record the so in your object, and
sub DESTROY {
  DynaLoader::dl_unload_file($shift->your_so)
    if defined (&DynaLoader::dl_unload_file);
}
